Ryzen 3 2200G vs Core i7-6700 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-6700 beats the Ryzen 3 2200G in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 2200G in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-6700 has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 3 2200G has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-6700. Despite this, the Core i7-6700 has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 2200G has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-6700. Despite this, the Core i7-6700 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 3 2200G.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Ryzen 3 2200G has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
